An Evening with Pat Metheny scheduled for Belfast Waterfront

Guitar hero Pat Metheny will perform at the Belfast Waterfront on Tuesday 14th November 2017.

The sheer invention and energy of Pat Metheny’s music continues to shine, always searching for new sounds and ideas whilst retaining the melodic force and free-wheeling, joyous drive that has been his hallmark since he took the jazz world by storm in the 1970s. The twenty-time Grammy winning guitarist , recently inducted into the Downbeat Hall of Fame as its youngest member and only the fourth guitarist, Metheny will present a range of music from throughout his career.

In this new quartet, his unmistakable guitar style is matched with the ‘stupendous improviser and remarkable musician’ (Independent), the multi-award winning, home-grown UK pianist Gwilym Simcock, the brilliant bassist Linda Oh, who ‘controls the bass in a contradiction of elegance and pure physical power” (NYS Music), as well as long-time Metheny drummer and composer of the Birdman soundtrack, Antonio Sanchez, in a band that positively exudes class.
